In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, compliance with international regulations is more crucial than ever. Financial institutions and exchanges face constant scrutiny to ensure they operate within legal boundaries, particularly when dealing with transactions that may involve sanctioned entities. Coinumm, a prominent player in the digital asset services industry, recently encountered a significant compliance challenge that tested its proactive approach to risk management.
By leveraging the advanced capabilities of Scorechain’s risk assessment tools, Coinumm not only identified a potential risk but also successfully navigated a path to maintain compliance, reinforcing its commitment to secure and lawful operations.
The Compliance Challenge: Detecting a Risky Link
Coinumm’s compliance team, dedicated to meticulous monitoring, detected a red flag in a client’s transaction history. An AML specialist from Coinumm described the scenario:
"An AML specialist identified a connection between the client's TRON wallet address and subsequent outgoing transactions to an entity registered in a country listed as sanctioned by the EU and OFAC. Thanks to Scorechain’s detailed risk assessment capabilities, we successfully avoided a potential sanctions breach."
This situation highlighted a common yet critical risk for digital asset platforms: the possibility of unknowingly engaging in transactions with individuals or entities associated with sanctioned regions or restricted groups. Given the complexities and opacities inherent in cryptocurrency transactions, identifying and managing these risks requires robust, sophisticated compliance solutions.
Scorechain’s Role: Comprehensive Risk Assessment for Secure Transactions
Scorechain’s role in Coinumm’s compliance efforts was indispensable. The platform’s risk assessment tools allowed Coinumm to delve into the transaction’s background, analyzing every step in the chain and identifying points of concern.

Scorechain’s comprehensive risk-scoring system further enabled Coinumm to determine the likelihood of a sanctions breach and implement the necessary mitigation measures.
